I can't handle full power 44 magnum (yet), and I honestly think most people can not either. Many shooters on this site can, but you have to be honest with yourself. Sometimes I can shoot a decent group with 21.5 grains H110 and a Lee 310 grain, usually I start tensing up before I get to the 6th shot. I've become a big fan of 20-1 alloy, I understand why it used to be considerd the most universal alloy there was. Here is what I worked up for my dad to hunt with this year. Fed LP, 13 grains Bluedot, NOE H&G #503 clone with large hollow point cast of 20-1 alloy, 1.690" OAL. As I understand it, 2400 powder can be reduced as well. I ran 8-10.5 grains Unique, nothing shot all that spectacular. I'd guess my load must be running ballpark 1100 fps, and with the 255 grain HP, it's not too bad.
Shot at 50 yards in my 5.5" Redhawk. 2.5" CTC
